Government cracks down on businesses violating new product ban: 'For overall protection of ... public health'

Cities around the world are instituting bans on plastic bags in an effort to reduce single-use plastics. In Islamabad, Pakistan, officials are refreshing the city's efforts to reduce plastic waste. As The News reported, employees from the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency, along with city officials, have been running inspections in major commercial hubs around the city. While the inspections have discovered hundreds of kilograms of banned plastic materials, many businesses were in compliance with the regulations. "This crackdown is part of our sustained efforts to enforce the Single-Use Plastics (Prohibition) Regulations, 2023, so as to reduce plastic pollution in the capital city and its adjoining areas for overall protection of environment and public health," Pak-EPA Director General Nazia Zeb Ali told The News. The strict enforcement of the regulations may seem tough, but they demonstrate the city's commitment to sustainable action. However, these sustainable moves are not without their criticisms. For one, plastic is inexpensive. Requiring alternatives can be more costly to businesses or to consumers, who may have to purchase paper or reusable bags. It can also put more pressure on consumers to remember reusable bags and to be more prepared for shopping. Many consumers also reuse plastic bags from shopping for a variety of purposes, including as garbage bags. Some argue that the extra energy and resources to make trash bags or paper bags nullify the potential savings from a ban. On the other hand, bag bans reduce both the amount of plastic bags and other items in landfills and bags littering the streets. Plastic straws, for instance, can take 200 years to break down. Should plastic grocery bags be banned nationwide? Absolutely No way Let each state decide I'm not sure Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Bans on plastic help to reduce our reliance on dirty energy sources like crude oil, natural gas, and coal. Interestingly, The Hague in the Netherlands recently banned public advertisements for dirty energy sources. Many cities around the world have instituted similar bans on plastic bags or single-use plastic items, such as Alberta, Canada, or Pittsburgh. The World Economic Forum reported that plastic bag bans in cities around the country have reduced the amount of plastic bags in circulation by billions of bags per year. Reducing our plastic consumption also reduces our exposure to plastic-related toxins, making these bans a benefit for public health in addition to environmental health. Plastic bans and regulations like those in Islamabad are complex but ultimately push us toward a cleaner, greener future.

Florida man running illegal dump on protected land — and neighbors say officials don't ‘spank him hard enough'

Maximo Sanchez is a Florida business owner operating dumping sites where debris is piling up. While that description alone makes clear he's running a dirty business, the reality is worse than it may seem. That's because the land includes protected wetlands — and Sanchez has refused to clean up the mess despite signing an agreement to do so. According to an investigation by ABC Action News Tampa, Sabchez is facing fines and penalties but hasn't cleaned up his act despite repeated warnings — and neighbors are concerned that officials aren't being aggressive enough in enforcement. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) 'I just don't think they spank him hard enough, to be honest with you,' Aaron Truman, a neighbor operating a company near one of Sanchez's properties, told Action News. Here's what happened and advice for anyone who may live near a rule violator. Problems with Sanchez's dumping grounds came to light more than a year ago, with Action News reporting in early 2024 that he was operating an unpermitted dump in an environmentally sensitive wetland. The news team's cameras recorded a three-story-high mound of debris, mostly construction and demolition materials, at Snchez's property on Hartford Street — and the pile was still growing, with trucks continuing to arrive at the site. "Any sort of material that would be put in a wetland that could degrade its environment would require an authorization from EPC point blank,' Michael Lynch, director of wetlands at Hillsborough County's Environmental Protection Commission (EPC), told Action News at the time. 'Currently, the site on Hartford Street has no authorization from EPC or any other regulatory body." Authorization is required because of the serious consequences that can come from dumping in wetlands. 'We are in the state of Florida in a very delicate ecosystem. It has to be protected at all costs,' Walter Smith II, owner of an environmental engineering firm and Sierra Club member, told Action News last year. Sanchez did sign an agreement last year with the county to clean up the site, Action News reported, but hasn't yet done so. The EPC has now alerted him that he missed the November 2024 deadline included in the agreement, and thus owes a fine of $7,900. This site isn't the only cause for concern, either, as neighbors near another unpermitted dumping site run by Sanchez have also made complaints to officials. "Dust just continually pours over this building,' said Truman in a video he sent to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, shared with Action News. Truman told reporters that he has to service the air conditioners at his flooring business on Linebaugh Avenue every three months and regularly replace carpets because of the dust, but it doesn't help much — and it could be more than just an issue of cleanliness. 'Concrete has what you call silicates in it. Those silicates can get into the air and cause a real problem if the dust isn't taken care of,' Smith said in a recent interview with Action News. "It's very dangerous." Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it After Action News originally reported on the unmitigated wetland dump in 2024, officials did spring into action, filing civil lawsuits against Sanchez for both of the unpermitted dumping sites he's running, alleging repeat offences. Officials are seeking fines of $15,000 daily if Sanchez doesn't correct course. Sanchez has also been charged with a felony violation of litter laws in Florida, as well as misdemeanor violations of environmental protection rules by the Hillsborough CountyState Attorney's Office, Action News confirmed. Still, Smith thinks more should have been done — and sooner. "I would have thought that they would have nipped this in the bud a long time ago. There appears to be a consistent pattern of defiance," Smith said, arguing that the delay may make it seem like officials aren't as serious as they should be about enforcing the law. "It says I can get away with this for just a little while longer. And that's not the type of message that needs to be had,' For his part, the news channel reports that Sanchez has pleaded not guilty to the criminal offenses and denied wrongdoing in the civil cases. He's also listed the Hartford Street site for sale, with the listing stating the property owner is in the process of environmental cleanup of wetland areas. He has until July 1 to comply with the court's new cleanup order. When he talked to the Action New reporters last year, he said "It's all being dealt with. And as I said, I'm not giving any statement. You talk to my attorney.' Sanchez may have gotten away with violating environmental rules for a while, but he's been fined and penalties could get worse pending the outcome of the civil and criminal cases against him. Companies that don't want to face these hassles should make sure they follow their state and local laws, including getting permits before dumping and making sure they are not performing any unauthorized operations in environmentally sensitive or protected areas. Citizens who spot rule violations can also do their part by reporting them so officials can take action. The process for doing this can vary by state, but usually involves: Taking pictures or video of suspected violations when possible and safe. Reporting issues to your local EPC or your state's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Reports can usually be submitted online — the EPA offers this form — and the sooner a witness takes action, the quicker officials can respond and help mitigate environmental damage in their communities.
